Zmanco Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=85& Interesting article. Although it's clearly a bit self-serving for TireRack, if they followed the procedure as they described, even at 4/32" of tread left there is a very significant degradation of braking performance. Typical new tires have about 7-9/32" of tread so replacing tires earlier at 4/32" is A LOT sooner. And even at 4/32" the braking performance was pretty poor. Probably the best answer is to leave more distance in front in the wet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tube80z Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I bet they didn't test siping the tires at 4/32 to see how much of that "loss" could be gotten back. Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
